After a friend has shared information with me from a 'channelling' session she has experienced a few times, or even if the topic arises, I feel very uncomfortable within myself. It's very difficult to explain the sensation; but it's almost like a nervousness, or fright that certainly doesn't feel right. Is this my inner being warning me that there definitely is something wrong with the practise, or have I truly been exposed to something evil?

probably you've been exposed to something evil. It shouldn't feel like that

I think you need to trust your gut feeling about this. There's a definate reason you're having the feelings you are - and I would definately heed them.
If your friend is truly a friend, I would let the person know you would like him or her to stop sharing the channeling session information with you. You don't have to feel obligated to give a reason, if you don't want to share it.
Evil spirits do exist. I had an experience with one when I was a small child that I will certainly never forget. I couldn't see it visually, and it's difficult to explain, but it's almost like my soul showed me exactly what it looked and sounded like. To this day, it's by far the most terrifying experience I've ever had. It happened when I was visiting a relative, so I ended up running and screaming through my relatives house. The really scary thing is though, when my relative came to see what was wrong, the look on her face told me she knew exactly what I was screaming about.
Even though this took place many, many years ago, it still gives me chills to think about it. Over the years, many animals and other small children have reacted to my relatives house the same way I did. Just be careful with this. Evil spirits aren't just some Halloween joke - you don't want to mess around with them.

What you are feelingn is fear that god will punish you, because for your whole life you've been told that these things are evil. .
They are not evil. I am a Witch, I practice good magick and healing. I study and learn all that I can to make sure I'm on the right path. Wtiches do not worship satan, in fact we don't believe in him at all. Witchcraft is the oldest surviving religion on earth. Most of the christian holidays are based on pagan gods and goddesses from the past.
Don't believe everything you see or read. When you do find something you are unsure of, look for other sources to help you understand. Study and understand these things and they will no longer scare you.
Trust me when I say that the Bible is flawed. It may have some accurate information that relates to history, but much of it was re-written by the Roman Catholic Church in 400+ AD. There is refutable evidence of this, you only need to search and explore to find the truth.
A great source that I recommend is a minister who has several sermons he has posted on his website: http://rev.dyounger.googlepages.com/home
This man has studied paganism and it's practices. He tells you everything that is isn't and what he knows most of it to be. We need more preachers like this, who have studied the mysteries of life extensively, and is now sharing with his "flock" and others who will listen.
Does this mean that you should give up your ideals or religion. Heck no, just see it in a different light. God is a loving god, we are not punished for our mistakes because we are supposed to make them in order to learn our purpose here. We are only rewarded by those good things we do because we feel good about them. There is no good and evil, and what is someone's right might be anothers wrong...but that doesn't mean it's evil. Are their evil people out there? More than likely, but it really isn't they that are evil, but their actions.

Evil is a perception. If you are uncomfortable with what your friend is doing, you should tell her to keep it to herself because it freaks you out. If she refuses and keeps talking to you about channeling, you might have to choose between you feeling safe, or your friendship with her.
It could just be that maybe you fear the unknown and have had it beaten into your head that certain things are "evil", when they may be perfectly innocent and safe. I guess that depends on the circumstances of the channeling and what she shares with you. That also depends on your beliefs.
As with anything - I say go with your gut. That's called instinct, and we were given instincts for a reason. To keep us safe. If you feel afraid or scared - remove this friend from your life. You'll both probably benefit from it.

Quite possibly.
The bible warns specifically against channelors, witches and people who predict the future.
Why?
How do you know that an evil spirit isn't being channeled that you are giving control of your life to.
If you feel as you do than HEED THE WARNING!
If it smells, evil, looks evil and feels than it probably IS evil.
You certainly don't need contact with anything that can screw up your life.
Pray, pray, pray, banish and rebuke the presence in Jesus' name.

mediumship in general is not evil or harmful
however there are many nasty people out there who will take advantage
you havent been exposed to anything but a feeling of something not quite right with this particular one
and quite rightly so judging from your previous post
may i suggest you take a look into a spiritualist church ... just out of curiousity nothing more
and tell me if you get the same feeling
i have a feeling you wont

The Bible is dead serious about this issue and simply says stay away from it. Demons are real and can harass and posses you and they have entrance to your soul when you give it to them. It needs to be confessed to God as a sin and forgiveness sought and then stay away in the future from anything where you give control of your thinking over to something else.

Because of the evil related to channelling. The Bible warns against it.

It's called being uncomfortable with the subject matter. It's normal. Try talking about something else.
I get that same sensation when my parents start to talk about sex...

It's not evil. You are just uncomfortable with it. Try to avoid the subject with your friend or explain that you aren't into it.
